Hi Everyone,
Welcome to a special BONUS episode in the Porsche 356C series. Today we fix that destroyed shift rod seal! We ran into a big surprise with the shaft itself and the reason it was bad in the first place.
This is the amazing seal puller tool: amzn.to/34XosaY
It will save you HOURS and won't damage the shaft like this car's was...
Enjoy!
Very creative! Most of us would have said, oh shucks or something like that....you are always so upbeat and positive.
So much of vintage repairs amounts to fixing the bodges of previous owners/mechanics, well done!
That is so true... Much of what was wrong with this car and the Ferrari could have been avoided with proper maintenance...
Very clever use of JB Weld!
What a great series. Almost hate to see it come to an end, but sure the owner is glad there aren't more gremlins to be found. Great job on sharing your knowledge and doing an awesome filming job.
I saw this video back when it was just released. Today, I am once again dealing with the leak agin. Thanks for leaving your video’s online, big benefit to me!
Great tip on using JB weld. 👍🎅
JB Weld does wonders. You’d be surprised at the critical areas I’ve seen it used on and it delivers every time.
Thank you very much for this video and the information which comes with it. I replaced this shift seal once and it is leaking more than before, so I will get the puller you used and hope get better result this time in my 1964 356 SC. Thank
you very much again and congratulations!! Your videos are fantatic and your explanations very helpful.
Franny is frequing awesome ! Always takes her time and DOES sweat the small stuff
Thanks!
Always enjoy the clever editing and production on these videos. Not to mention the education I am receiving just watching someone work on these older cars.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
WOW Ladies that is some great photography, not to mention the mechanics abilities.
Thanks!
I watched your video a dozen times, that weird tool arrived today, so off I went to remove the seal, here it is an hour later and still no luck, then again the car is not on a lift but on a jack and not too high off the ground.
Hi to you to, wish i had a 1.00 for every one of the seals i did LOL. Crank polishing strap works real well . I build engines and use it all the time it wraps around the shaft and u can get a factory finish when your done .You done a heck of a job fixing it with what you had to work with kotos to you and a thumbs up to !
Aircraft quality work-your awesome kid
Hi Gals, made my Christmas Day very special. What a world we live in: Here I am in Porscheland and I´m having the time of my life moving up the learning curve in my custom Harry C. Pellow Master Class with Franny. The both of you are great and I can´t tell you how much I enjoy learning about the special details of the 356...by far my favorite! Stay happy and healthy...Mazeltov!
Thanks so much! Mazeltov!
Nice work Franny,
You just have to love JB Weld. I have the faith as well and have personally witnessed a several JBW miracles myself!
Keep your great DIY 356 videos a coming : )
JB-weld will work, I guess... But I'd probably prefer to solder this)
Look's like someone didn't have that ingenious seal removal tool like you did. They just stuck a screwdriver in there and pried it out!
Wouldn't it be nice if the new cars were as easy to access things as the older cars were? Great job Frannie! Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
Thanks John! We did :) I hope you had a nice Christmas as well :)
Hey you cloud perhaps find a 'sleeve bushing' to put over the axle, like they use in the industry, cheap, polished and very thin so your seal has pressure again....
Beautiful job. You have to wonder how the burr occurred. I suspect someone used a pry tool to work on the shaft at some point?
Forever a mystery I suppose... I'm thinking something spin-ey... Maybe a drill bit?
Good call on the HB Weld.
Franny, you are a fantastic mechanic!! Very entertained watching you fix cars, as usual. :) Keep up the exceptional work!
Love the fix with JB Weld. Totally enjoy the videos. Merry Christmas!
Thanks so much Alex!
Thank you for a great series. Not a lot of 356 tutorials out there, your's were fantastic!
Thanks so much!
Thanks again for posting a great video. I used this tool on a 71 911T not as much space but still able to get it out with the tool, it gave me a hard time as I was being too gentle, ensure you use the tool all the way to grab the full bushing, I was only gabbing the edge of it. It will take some time to get the leverage right ! Keep at it
Wonderful (almost) Finale of a great series of repairs on the 356. big thank you !
Thanks so much!
Well done video. As someone who does this for a living, I'm a little bummed you're doing such a good job of demystifying these tasks :P In this particular case I don't think you needed the JB weld as the filing and sanding you did was most likely adequate and the affected area didn't look like it would rub on the seal after installed. Lastly, I see you like tools and you fast forwarded over the safety wire part of securing the grub screw. Get a set of safety wire pliers. You'll love 'em
Thanks! There was still a pretty deep grove in that shaft even after all that work... It might not have eaten through the seal, but I'm pretty sure it would still leak. Anyway, the JB Weld seems to have done the trick!
Thank you for the informative Video. Used it to do same on my 79SC 915 transmission. I didn't have the fancy seal removal tool, a straight poke on an angle worked. For those with a 915, keep at it, if you get it on the right angle with a straight poke will come right out, i took out the edge and thought i was done at first. Also scissor or some type of lift is essential for this job. Cheers!
Hi have a wonderful Christmas and fantastic new year
Thanks so much you as well!
Very glad to see this upload. I was wondering how hard it would be to fix this leak. And it's great to see how well the JBWeld helped fix that scar. Looks great!
Thanks so much Pat! All in all not that bad... JB Weld is pretty amazing stuff...
Hope you and Rebecca have a good Christmas tomorrow or holiday if you do not celebrate. Heidi
@@HeidiandFranny Thank you and Merry Christmas! She had to work so I got to editing. :)
You're either in a state that has legalized cannabis or blessed with the inability to get upset and stay focused. Regardless, you're automotive knowledge and character is amazing (subscribed).
Thanks so much! Welcome to the channel :)
Great job and great series! Thanks for the fun ride!
This is a great Christmas gift! Merry Christmas to Heidi and Franny and Ozzy and Zeke!
Hi John, Merry Christmas!! Thanks so much for everything :)
Merry Christmas Franny and Heidi! ❄❄❄❄❄❄❄🎄
You girls are Amazing!!
Franny your mechanical knowledge it's so amazing and inspiring!
Thank you Amigas for the Fantastic videos!
❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄
Thanks so much! Have a happy Christmas and beautiful New Year!
A bonus is always good. Thank you for your video. I enjoyed it.
Can you do a video on shift rod adjustment? Especially on the C!
Harold, we will try. It won't be until next spring at the very earliest, but subscribe in case things change.
Every episode on your channel is kind of bonus! ❤️
Great series! Thanks for sharing. Happy Holidays.
Thanks so much!
Hey great job! Loving the cars and it has helped me with some repairs that are related.
Great series!!!
Season's best to you girls! I wondered how you resolved that leaky trans seal, thanks for showing the process. That JB Weld is great stuff, I used it before to patch leaky motorbike side cases, much cheaper then a new one.
I loved this series and that little 356.
Thanks Randy. It is amazing stuff and between that and welding and such, seems like a much easier choice.
A most excellent Christmas morning video! Merry Christmas!
Yea! You too!
As always, impressed with the mechanical skill and ability to make it sound easier than it probably really is! Also have to admire your ability to say "shift shaft seal" that many times without mistakenly leaving out a consonant at least once!
Nice fix
If only all cars were this easy to troubleshoot and repair. Great fix with the JBWeld! Curious...does the shaft that goes through the seal get lubricated by the gear oil during normal use? Seems like that shaft needs to be lubricated with something to prevent friction damage to that oil seal.
Hi Chris, The bushing on the other side is pretty leaky... I imagine with a good seal it will pretty much fill the area between the bushing and the seal.
Your video is my best Christmas present this year
Awww... Thanks so much!
Merry Christmas to both of you and yours. So thankful for you sharing a bit of your lives. 🎄🎇💛🙏
Have a great New Year!
Great bonus episode :) I love that seal puller tool too. Have a merry Christmas and all the best for 2020.
Thanks so much! That puller is the bee's knees... Happy New Year!
As usual, when you start this type of job, unless you're really lucky they always end up worse than expected. I do hope the owner said a big thank you. You both deserve it! Merry Christmas, and a happy new year! John UK
Franny, you made my Xmas day! JBWeld for the rescue, and some expert sanding. Wow, what a series Heidi and Franny, happy holidays and best wishes for a great new year. Thanks!!
Thanks so much Tony! You too :)
Very informative; thanks!!! Merry Christmas!!! Now, on to the rebuild of the Carrera
Yes. This was more of a diversion than anticipated...
Real ingenuity ! Nice solution...
Thanks!
Another great video, as Harold mentioned a video on shift rod adjustment would be great.
miss fran wild idea but maybe a mchine shop can make a real thin bushing that fits over the shift rod,
lets say only 0,5 of a millimeter?
Fantastic job!!! Merry Christmas 🎁
Thanks Chris!
Good job, love your video’s 🤙
Thanks!
Awesome work. You are really skilled and you give a lot of confidence. It is really a pleasure to see your videos. Thank you so much for everything. I am happily the owner of a 1987 Carrera and a 1964 356 SC. I would love more videos about the latter. And thank you very much for showing your knowledge to others. Regards from Spain.
great video merry christmas guys ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks! You too!
Merry Christmas!
You too!
Hi Franny, do you have a video on replacing the shift linkage bushings?
Great bonus video! Genius solution! Now you can add "Master Welder" to your resume! =)
Great work, a new subscriber enjoying your content.
Thanks so much and welcome!
Nice job Frannie! What do you think caused that gauge? Looks like maybe someone was working on it and grabbed it with a pliers or a vice grip? Only thing I can think of since it shouldn’t have gotten hit in any way.
Thanks :) Or maybe a drill to remove an old seal? Hard to say, but it pushed the metal up around the rim... Just not good. Who installs a seal without fixing that?
Merry Christmas Lady's from Germany 🇩🇪🎄🎄🎄🎄🇩🇪
Merry Christmas!
If you continue with a leak due to someone previously using a Vice Grip and gouging the shaft get your shaft redone by Vic Skirmants. Just remove the nose to get the shaft out. As a Bonus Vic will weld the set where it can come apart.
Thanks for the info on Vic. I don't think it was Vice-Grips... The damage was only on one side of the shaft. I'm betting this JB will do the trick though...
Great video as usual! Did it look like the shift coupler needed new bushings itself? There looked like there was some play when you were going to reinstall. Love this video and hate to see the car go. Talk about one happy customer! I only wish I could drop my 3.2 off at your garage for some work! Merry Christmas and have a wonderful New Year!
Good eye! Actually the coupler is just as it should be. It doesn't look correct, but the bushing should actually be oval shaped. That keeps vibration from the power train from transmitting to the shift linkage. It got me too the first time I saw it on the 3.2 Carrera...
This episode brought to you by JB Weld! If only it was! Lol Thanjs for the bonus 🎁...Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🤶
Thanks Norm!
Great content! And brilliant solution with the JB Weld Franny!
How on Earth do you think that deep gouge occurred? it seems there would have been damage to the underside of the car if it was something from the ground that got up in there.
Happy Holidays to you and Heidi! 🎄🕎
That is a great question... The only thing I can think of is that during the last seal removal maybe the person used , a,... drill? Probably something rotatey... The metal was actually pushed up above grade. It must have been human-induced because the boot would protect from road bits. But, whomever did it knew they caused the damage but didn't fix it?? This was common theme on the car. JB Weld for the win!
@@HeidiandFranny right! They serviced and damaged it but didn't fix it? Crazy!
nice use of jb weld there! where did you get those sanding pads btw, they look nice.
I think I got them at an actual paint store but I bet any home center Home Depot, etc. would have them. I got them for the i8 wheel project because I had to sand through the clear coat that was sprayed over brake dust ;) They are flexible, but still pretty stiff an can be used wet or dry. They are pretty sweet.
Great work and explanation ! I'm only a bit surprised you did not take the opportunity to change the 2 plastic coupler bushes, they show so much play in the video that you will not recognize your shifting afterwards. Just my 2 cents.
On the shift coupler? They are supposed to be like that... The holes are oblong to allow the transmission to move fore-aft a bit without disturbing the shifter in the car. It does add a little play, but I tried round bushings in the 911 and it was awful... you can actually see the shifter moving around.
@@HeidiandFranny I will have to trust you regarding your cars but mine ('85 911) as round bushings with no play.
Franny---Why didn't you check the inside of the nose where the outer part of the seal fits for damage and possible leaks?
I did... It was fine and not the source of the leak.
Hi again, tried many times to get seal out with no luck, there seems to be some kind of metal washer in front of the seal and won't come out, and I managed to butcher it up so far, getting very frustrated and hope you read this and perhaps offer an opinion and advice. thanks
I have a friend who had a similar issue. He solved it by drilling a small hole in the face of the seal and screwing in a small screw. He was able to pull it out that way. See if that works.
Is it possible that the seal puller used is what damaged the shaft?
No idea.
Franny, what’s the part number on the seal used!? Thank you!!
Hi Tom, Sorry about that! Here is the seal at AutohausAZ: www.autohausaz.com/pn/GR-90011200150
Heidi and Franny's Garage Thank you Franny!!!
So what caused the shaft to get scratched?
Great question! My guess would be some kind of power tool (maybe a drill?). Absolutely no need too resort to that. It is a small seal and easily comes out with the proper seal puller tool.
Yo wheres the flat 6 u were working on?
I know, right?? That is coming back soon. We have a couple reviews to bang out and then the parts go to the platers and coaters...
